The Pyramid of Intellect

THE PYRAMID OF INTELLECT Have you heard of NixOS? “Btw I use Arch” Ph.D. MASTER’S DEGREE BACHELOR’S DEGREE ASSOCIATE’S DEGREE HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA

A colorful pyramid presents academic qualifications as levels of intellect, with a tiny peak labeled “Btw I use Arch” and a caption asking, “Have you heard of NixOS?” The joke is that Linux users who mention Arch and NixOS are portrayed as being at the highest level of intelligence, satirizing Linux elitism and technical one-upmanship. It is shared as a reaction to someone showing off their operating system knowledge.
